If you had been watching the Lawrence Welk TV show in 1959 and his sponsoring ads, you might have been enticed to visit your local Dodge dealer and seen this line up. And yes, they were still selling in limited numbers, the military style Power Wagon in 1959.
And this line up includes the two door sedan that the California Highway Patrol bought this year. The station wagon and CHP car created from 3D prints with modifications.

Awesome John, and yes - Mr. Welk was a long-time sponsor of Dodge. Or should I say, Dodge was a long-time sponsor of the Lawrence Welk show. In some years, the entire TV production staff would receive new Dodge automobiles.... fantastic! 😎
